MAJOR PICTURE UDPATE

Make sure you look all the way down today...I have added THREE (yes, you read that right) picture slide shows. There are Halloween, family reunion, and CAMPING pictures.

Halloween Costumes

I know it isn't officially Halloween but we had a fall festival at church last weekend and got to have a dress rehersal for the big day. The girl's costumes are absolutly beautiful this year (thanks Mom!). Enjoy Snow White and the Pink Fairy Princess. More pics after Halloween.

Family reunion

We had a family reunion a couple of weeks ago. My mom's family has gotten together once a year for as long as I can remember. It seems as though the family gets bigger every year. I won't bore you with lots of pictures of people that most of you won't know but here are a few pictures of the kids at the reunion and a few other people you might know.

THEY'RE HERE

Over fall break we went camping at a nearby state park. We had a wonderful time...even if it did rain one entire day and night. Enjoy a few picks.

Picture slideshow

I am horrible about updating the pictures on my blog so I created a slide show (WITH SOUND EVEN) to show you a little of what we have been up to lately. I know that I don't have camping pictures yet, SORRY, but I haven't taken them off the computer. I will add a slide show of those later. Hope you guys enjoy.

Yes, I am still alive

To the three or four loyal followers of this blog I know that I haven't posted in almost a month. Life has been crazy and by the time I get to the computer to actually post something or put up some pictures I am ready to go to bed. Number 1 is busy with gymnastics and school. In fact we just completed a homework assignment. She is getting way too big too fast. She used big girls scissors (a.k.a. Mom's) to cut apart her apples and than glued the correct number to the different trees. She did it perfectly without any help. Number 2 is really starting to become a little communicator...at least to those that she will talk to. She is still quite shy until she opens up. Once she has decided you are okay and she likes you, you had better watch out. Hubby is keeping busy with his motorcycle and work. This is not to mention the second full time job that he has of taking care of number 2 most days. I have crazily decided to go back to school in January to work on my specialist degree. Hubby and I figured I should do it while the girls are still young enough not to be scarred by Mommy's absence once or twice a week. It will take me about two years to complete the degree and then I will have a specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I plan to go back to the same college that I got my undergraduate degree from. There is a lot to be said about going to a college where there isn't commute that lasts between twenty minutes and two hours. Also, it pays that I already know the faculty and Dean really well. So, while there are no pictures today there is an update. Some time I hope to upload pictures of our great camping trip that we took a few weeks ago. I also have some family reunion and cook out pictures to add. And yes, there are even a few of number 1 in the "leotards" that have been discussed previously. Oh, and Halloween costumes. They are perfectly gorgous and the girls look beautiful in them. They are growing up so fast. It seems like I open my eyes each morning to different kids.

My husband the Harley Man

This past weekend Hubby and several of his "Iron Prostate Motorcycle Gang" friends (a.k.a. other fire fighters) went to the Harley Davidson Drag Races in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Hubby rode his 1977 Harley all the way to Kentucky. He lost a few parts along the way and managed to ruin a brand new pair of pants with battery acid, but none the less he won a bet and made it there with the motorcycle still running. Hubby said it was unlike anything he had ever been to but he had a good time and made it home in one piece. Here are some pics that one of the other guy's wife took before they left.
